Bummer, Bill was our alternate on the "Wild's Bunch" 10 man speed star team when we went to the Nationals one year. Great guy to jump with and be around.

Al Kruger is still out and about in California. Hasn't jumped much ( if at all ) since he was nearly killed a few years ago on a jump.

Hi 422

Interesting list

I knew Al K had a brother is the third Kruger on your list another brother?

What does BQM stand for We tried doing a search and all we got was your thread.

I'm guessing Buquor Memorial, but just a wild guess.

See http://www.starcrestawards.com/

I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.

[SCS422 12]

Yes, Al had two brothers that jumped and the three of them would put together a pretty quick 3 man so they were the base for the early stuff we did for Steve.

Bob Buquor memorial, I guess BBM would have been better.

How is Al after his accident in '07?

I don't care how many skydives you've got,
until you stepped into complete darkness at
800' wearing 95 lbs of equipment and 42 lbs
of parachute, son you are still a leg!

I wonder what happened to SCR#: 14365? It used to be in the data base, now it's gone. 14364 & 14366 is documented. I reckon 14365 got deleted?

Bud Kruger

Lives in Glendora and still married to Sandy. Got busted up pretty good landing a homemade 9 cell during some big ways at Perris in the early 80’s. I see him quite a bit. He worked ground crew for Freedom Parachute up until just recently.

Dennis Trepanier

Has a spring manufacturing business in So. Cal. He lives in Canyon Country with his new wife and daughter. He hasn’t jumped in a few years.

Sparky

There is a 4th brother, Keith, that no one talks about.

My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Does it mean something to you (IE: Is it you or someone you know)? I do the database admin stuff for Bill and if something is missing or messed up, I'm sure I can get it straight for you.

Larry,
I'm in Saint Louis, MO since 1974. Your post got me looking at my logbooks. My notes on the jump you mentioned indicate it was a 19-way organized by Fielding that built to 16, which tied the existing record at the time, with 17th on wrists when a grip was lost.

I have been out of the sport since 1981 except for a brief return in 2007 that ended with hip problems which required bilateral hip replacements, but I remember those good times with good friends.

Regards,
Ralph G. Johnson D-3017
